A musical adaptation of White House comedy Dave is in the works. The 1993 movie, featuring Kevin Kline as both the President and his doppelganger, has been turned into a stageshow by an all-star team of Broadway veterans.
Dave The Musical features music from Next to Normal composer Tom Kitt, lyrics by Legally Blonde writer Nell Benjamin, and a book by Hairspray co-creator Thomas Meehan.
Producers are hoping to premiere the show in late 2015 following a successful private reading last month (Oct14).
The film version was directed by Ivan Reitman and also featured Sigourney Weaver, Frank Langella and Sir Ben Kingsley.

Presidents were this year's hot item on the big and small screens, but pop culture has always been obsessed with dressing up actors to look like the men who fill our text books. Inspired by 2012's trend, Hollywood.com has combed through cinematic history to whip up this handy infographic, chronicling decades of Presidential appearances in pop culture. In the end, one thing is clear: Futurama did a lot in the name of presidential representation.

2012 was a heated year for Presidential politics, with Barack Obama and Mitt Romney vying for the position of Commander-in-Chief and the battle of ideologies dominating every facet of pop culture. Movies and television also did their fair share of respectful homage-ing to the Head of State, with Daniel Day-Lewis' stirring portrayal of Abraham Lincoln in Spielberg's Lincoln (and the vampire-hunting alternative), Jordan Peele finding room to mock our sitting Prez in Key and Peele, and Bill Murray finding the swinger side of America's only four-termer, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, in this weekend's Hyde Park on the Hudson. History teachers across the country have never been prouder of what they do than in the last 365 days.
